The next meeting is scheduled for September 23, 2003 at the Government Center in Hudson. Jensen explained the hearing process and opened the hearing. John and Joan Neumann: Fisher read the notice into the record. The request is to rezone approximately 64 +/- acres of land from Agriculture to Ag -II. Location: The SE '/4 of the SE '/4 of Section 17, T28N -R17W, Town of Pleasant Valley. John Neumann presented his request to the committee. He explained that he has revised his request to rezone the entire 64 acres from Ag to Ag -II, which is consistent with what the Town of Pleasant Valley is asking him to do. The town prefers that he have one home on the 64 -acre parcel, rather than one home on 25 acres. They believe this is more consistent with their Town Plan. Fisher went over the staff report with the committee stating that Neumann withdrew his previous application at the August 1P hearing. He reiterated that Neumann had asked for a 24 -acre parcel to be rezoned from Ag to Ag -II, but the town would not give approval for that. They preferred that the entire 64 acres be put into Ag -Ii, with the stipulation that there is only one home on this site, and cannot be further subdivided. Neumann has agreed to this, and the town recommended approval of the request on a 3 -0 vote. Fisher said that this request is compatible with the County Plan, as well as the Town Plan. There was not opposition to the request. Motion by Anderson, seconded by Zoerb and carried to close the hearing. Discussion held. Motion by Jensen, seconded by Anderson to recommend approval of the request for 64 -acres to be rezoned from Ag to Ag -II and to move forward to County Board, based on the following findings: 1. The land is in the rural planning area and is an appropriate use. 2. The site is open flat land used for crops with an intermittent stream in one corner. 3. Approximately 3 /4 of the site is identified on the potentially productive agriculture map as very good farmland. 4. None of the site is identified on the primary environmental corridor map. 5. Approximately 1/3 of the site has slight to severe limitations fro Private Onsite Wastewater Treatment (POWTS). 6. There are no probable sand or gravel deposits on the site. 7. The surrounding land uses include large acreage farms to the west and south, 20 to 40 acre hobby farms to the north and two small acreages to the east. 8. The land around the parcel is zoned exclusive ag to the south, north, west and northeast and ag/residential to the east. 9. The site is located on a town road. 10. The proposed use of the land is one new building site. 11. Potential development is one lot. 12. The Land Evaluation Site Assessment Score is 145. 13. The Town Board has recommended this rezoning. 14. Staff recommended the following for committee consideration: Rezone to Ag II. With the following condition: 1. These 64 acres are not to be further subdivided for a residential building site. The County Board rezoning ordinance, which incorporates the legal description of the land rezoned along with the findings and conditions, shall be recorded at the owner's expense. 2. Any building on the property that contains livestock shall be located 100 -feet from any neighboring residential property line. This will be forwarded to the September County Board Meeting. Discussion of moving Parks Department under authority of Land and Water Conservation Committee: Ron Raymond, Leon Berenschot and Chris Bethke joined the group to discuss this topic. A lengthy discussion was held by the committee members. Most members are in agreement that it would be more efficient to have the Parks Department under the Land and Water Committee. The PZP Committee is very busy with issues dealing with Planning and Zoning. Fodroczi stated that the relationship between the planning, zoning and parks staff will still be there working together, no matter what happens. With Bob Heise now the department head for LWCD and Parks, it appears to make sense to have Parks report to the Land and Water Conservation Committee. Heise agreed that it would be helpful for all of his departments to report to one committee. Motion by Raymond, seconded by Bethke that the Joint Committees (PZPC and LWCQ support the transfer of the Parks Department operations from the PZP Committee to the LWC Committee. Motion carried on a 7 -1 vote, with Lucky voting in opposition. This will be sent onto the Administration Committee for their approval. Ag Extension will put this on their next agenda and then the PZP Committee will put on theirs. The recycling department issue will be discussed at a future meeting. 2004 Land Records Budget: Fodroczi handed out the three separate budgets that are all under Land Records fund. He explained them in detail with the committee. Revenues are up from last year. Discussion held. Motion by Jensen, seconded by Burn to approve the Land Records Budget as presented. Budget approved on a unanimous vote. Meeting declared adjourned at 8:35 p.m. Debra Zimmermann, Recorder Lois Burri, Secretary 2 MINUTES St. Croix County Planning, Zoning and Parks Committee September 17, 2003 St. Croix County Government Center, Hudson, Wisconsin Committee members present: Supervisors Art Jensen, Veronica Anderson, Jan Zoerb, Linda Luckey and Lois Burri.
